Friday, May 8th
Ah, finally our last destination by quirt of the flight schedule was the Roman Empire. After catching our early morning flight from Malta, we arrived in Rome around 11:30 AM. A quick nap and we had half a day to conquer Roman. Hm, I think that we came awfully close to seeing everything but the Vatican and we’re not Catholic so who cares.
We walked I believe through all of the ages of Rome, beginning with the 16th century and right through the 17th, 18th, 19th and finally ending in the 21st century. First stop was a tour of the Coliseum where the spectators were entertained with life and death. They even had the opportunity to sway whether Caesar should put a gladiator to death for failure to perform or not. Hm, and they think that we live in a barbican world today.
Next, we visited the Forum where the Roman City was originally created by Rameus. Here we witnessed and walked through the great temple of Rameus and saw the wealth of the Empire in those days. The marble may be all gone, as our tour guide indicated “borrowed by the Vatican, but the expanse of the temples and the city is remains. By this time we had only walked through the 16 and 17th century and our walk was just beginning in the few short hours that we had to discover Rome.
A casual and much need dinner along a street café was enjoyed and our waiter was most helpful in assisting to ensure that we had a relaxing, no hurry meal. Next we moved through the city to the Fountain of Trevor, the Pantheon, and finally the ……
well a long, long walk back to the 21st Century which brought us back to the Coliseum where we enjoyed our last coke and tribute to Caesar before departing to our hotel to gain a few short hours of sleep before catching our early morning flight to Paris and Home.
